FBI investigating possible 'biological lab' operating inside Las Vegas home: Sources

Authorities found refrigerators with vials of unknown liquids and arrested one person in a complex investigation linked to a prior illegal biolab in California.

  • Early Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026, LVMPD and the FBI served a warrant at a Sugar Springs Drive house after discovering possible biological material and wearing protective gear.
  • A code-enforcement tip prompted investigators after a code enforcement officer reported suspicious plumbing, and property records link the home to David Destiny Discovery, LLC tied to Reedley, California.
  • Inside the house, investigators found refrigerators and vials containing unknown liquids and chemicals, nearly 1,000 dead and living mice, and medical waste removed by local HAZMAT teams.
  • Recalled materials are being sent for testing, and Sheriff Kevin McMahill warned residents the large presence may remain for hours or days, urging them to avoid the area.
  • The discovery is linked to the 2022 Reedley illegal biolab, with investigators searching 20 other locations and the Joint Terrorism Task Force joining the probe.
